. >> what about syria? there have been some incidents of fire coming into the israeli part of the golan heights from syria. what's the latest on that? >> our estimation is all the remotes events have to do with stray bullets or stray mortars. nothing more than that. it's an internal conflict inside syria. and that's the way we treat it. >> is it a serious situation on the golan heights right now with syria or is it a temporary thing? >> it's a temporary thing. the borders are quiet. we see it as an internal syrian conflict which has nothing to do with us. >> and you're on the lebanese border with hezbollah, that's quiet as well? >> it's quiet but tense. hezbollah has acquired a huge arsenal of over 60,000 rockets and tried to think how many other militaries in the world even hold these amount of rockets. a speech was given today urging all the arab countries to smuggle rockets into gaza so hamas can use them. >> one final question, iran. what if any role are they playing in all of this? >> iran is, i would

ambassador to israel and ambassador to syria. mr. ambassador, iran, by having hamas really as a militant proxy in gaza, in many respects they can keep israel in check should israel decide it wants to go after iran's nuclear program because not only would israel potentially get it from iran, they could also potentially get it from sympathizers in gaza as well. what are your thoughts? >> no question that iran has been furnishing and providing these rockets to hamas. so therefore they are a key player in the military capabilities of hamas and other groups, such as palestinian islamic jihad in gaza. i think we have to make a distinction between the crisis in gaza and the -- the issue of iran developing nuclear weapons. they're distinct, but separate issues that have to be dealt with. nevertheless, i think this crisis in gaza, the worst case scenario is that israel feels compelled to do a land invasion of gaza. if it does so, it will be the death toll, the injuries will be very high, and it will be very destabilize and will really put a s

the people that launched the missiles, the leadership of hamas are no different than al-assad in syria. they are prepared to score political points against israel at the cost of causing civilian casualties and enormous destruction and humanitarian suffering by their own people. that's the danger of launching terrorist rockets against israel and not expecting israel to retaliate is absurd. >> in your recent article you wrote hamas' missile attacks on civilians demands a kitchen sink response. what are you suggesting? >> because i have come to the regrettable conclusion, as much as i support the creation of a palestinian state that hamas is a cancer in the middle east and needs to be eradicated. why? because if the missiles right now are being able to be intercepted and just imagine the low-cal ber missile they are right now, what happens when iran transfers a potential nuclear device to hamas and it fires in to tel aviv, maybe in a year or two from now? the real danger is hamas is not prepared to recognize israel's right to exist and they have become more a puppet of the iranian regime.
